The Colorado Avalanche are a good home team. Their record is currently 14-7-4 in Pepsi Center this season. That’s certainly respectable.
However, they have it in them to be truly dominant. After all, their quest to beat our St. Louis for the top Central Division spot — which would also mean Best in the West — is so they can earn home ice advantage.
Home ice advantage is only an advantage if you’re better at home than on the road. Currently, Colorado is 18-9-2 on the road. So, they’ve gotten 65% of the available points on the road and 64% at home.
